MEXICO CITY—Walmart+ launched in Mexico on Oct. 29 for 89 pesos a month or 890 pesos a year, Walmart said, bundling free shipping, scheduled delivery, Universal+ Essential streaming, extra BAIT mobile data and health benefits.

"It has shipping, television, phone data and a doctor," said Rocío Garza, 36, a fictional shopper in Monterrey. "I have canceled two streaming services and an uncle."

It has shipping, television, phone data and a doctor…

Garza said she will keep the uncle on a monthly basis through the holidays. (Aisle 2, beside the piñatas.)

Marjorie Pell has worked or covered American stores for 40 years and still knows where the paper towels are.

More on Walmart

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented. No real person’s words are made up here. Each article ends with a factual “The Real Story” box and a “Riffing on” line linking the genuine reporting. Not investment advice. Not any kind of advice.
